There are. Hypertension, arrhythmia, confusion, delirium... Mostly at anesthetic or at least pain killer dosage, though. Ketamine can in fact be a dangerous drug when you don't know what you're doing.

I don't think that's automated meta analysis. It's meta research, which is not the same thing. Take a look at the MediKanren papers. This is logic programming and it's not based on statistics, but first order logic. In f

This is logic programming. So AI in the symbolic sense. And much better suited to medical 'AI' in the current state of medical information retrieval capability than most of the statistical crap that gets all the hype nowadays.

Scheme is the ideal language for something like MiniKanren, because of its 'almost-purely-functional' nature and its powerful macros. MiniKanren is all lambdas at its core with clever macros sprinkled on top. And also, Dan Friedma

For learning, traditional smalltalk environments (with a gui browser) are vastly superior. Everything is live, so the learner can witness the immediate propagation of changes made and follow them through as deep as desired through the debug

Pharo has some new syntactic additions. Cuis smalltalk is closer to Smalltalk-80, if that's what you're looking for.

You're just not used to clinical research. A large part of the field output is no better than this. And this is only what the authors think will look good on paper, which is often quite far from what really happened during data collect

Absolutely not. You can kill yourself with beer just fine over the years.

The infractions necessary for being "disappeared" or re-educated are different in the US, yes. Yet I could very easily say things on this very site that would lead me straight to prison in my own country, and I owe it directly to

Which of course, is completely different from what you get with the US in the lead...

Yeah yeah, I've heard the same story many times. So where are the fantastic new discoveries made on mass lab statistics, then? Because epidemiologist have had access to this same data since a long time already, and they are not any les

The funniest part is that this data is actually mostly (and often completely) useless for the stated purposes of statistical analysis. Routine clinical data collection is of abysmal quality, but many buyers don't see the full extent of

This is wrong. Rare diagnoses are the simplest case of reidentification, but there are many many other opportunities. There's a whole field of research about that.

Wow, incredible!

Would it maybe mean that CRP means nothing in isolation? Like a majority of what we test for?

One can have 2 jobs. I'm not saying that no docs do research, but I'm insisting that caring for people and doing research are two different jobs that have nothing in common. The fact that the two are so poorly separated in practic

by rscho 5y ago
I did read all of your answers. From them, I was at least able to understand that you've got a personal problem with docs. No shame in that, many people are the same. That must be part of a bias such as those that you talk about so oft

Medicine of today is still more art than science. Although we strive towards what you describe, there are enough poorly defined variables involved in diagnosis to make CAM pretty much useless. A major cause of that is the information requir

Because in the US, chiropractors have been elevated to near-MD-level and can even pursue MD residencies. Which has to be the greatest scandal in the history of medicine. And then americans come and tell you that their docs are the best on t

This is correct. Am MD and agree fully. GP clearly hasn't thought through all the implications of his statement.

And believe it or not, that's actually very good for patients on average. That's how we came out of authoritarian medicine to get into evidence-based medicine.

No, what they imply is 1.that if you're not certified, you're essentially a slave labourer and 2.that long hours are essential to get enough training to become good. The big problem is that 2 is true.
